Hey Folks, 

Is there a log of when TapeAlert issued a clean request?  Sometimes I can
spot them in /var/adm/messages on my master server, but there dosen't
appear to be anything that is consistent.

Also, I've scoured all my logs in netbackup and volmgr, on my master and
all media servers, and can't seem to find anything that shows when a drive
was cleaned.  I've poured over the Veritas documentation and can't find
anything about TapeAlert and logging.  

The only way I KNOW it's working, is by running 'vmquery -mt 8mm_clean -bx'
and seeing my 'available cleanings' decreasing.  There's gotta be a log of
this stuff somewhere.

Any insight?
